The Wyandotte Health Foundation (WHF) has awarded 11 local nonprofit and public agencies a total of $1,533,450 in its Primary Care grant cycle in 2015.
"Wyandotte County is fortunate to have so many quality safety net clinics serving our residents," said President and CEO Cathy Harding. "Although efforts by the Enroll Wyandotte team (spearheaded by the Community Health Council of Wyandotte County and Healthy Communities Wyandotte) have reduced the number of people who are uninsured from 26% to 18% in just two years, there are still thousands of people who would not have access to care without these clinics. We are grateful for the important work these clinics do."
